A few hours later.

Robin struck out of the mechanical warehouse with emaciated energy, while behind him, Van Lundin listened like a well-behaved student to Old Jack's frothing scolding.

In fact, this competition was won by Van Lending, although Robin has good attainments in machinery, but he is an infantry after all, and machine repair skills are just his side hustle, so compared with Van Lendin, a mechanical elite, he still has less background after all. However, in the eyes of the mechanical expert Old Jack, Robin is not so completely defeated, although in terms of technology, Van Lendin occupies an overwhelming advantage, but Robin's technology is more spiritual, often jumping out of what he teaches to have his own unique ideas, so after this unequal strength of the competition, Old Jack instead scolded the winner, as if Van Lendin was the one who lost.

"Why did Old Jack scold that man? Didn't he win? Cecilia handed Robin a towel and looked curiously at the roaring mechanical warehouse.

"He's a professional, and I'm an amateur."

Robin took the towel and wiped his face, chuckling, "You've been waiting for a long time, aren't you bored?" ”

"Of course not." Cecilia stood on tiptoe, straightened Robin's collar and said, "I was worried that you would be too impulsive, but I didn't expect you to come up with such a solution. ”

"This is also a helpless thing, only by doing this can we eliminate the gap as soon as possible. By the way, what about the other competitions, have you got any results? ”

Dick was carried to the infirmary, and Zolo was still training in the training room. Angus's side seemed to be tied, but after getting off the plane, Angus took Afra back to his room. Cecilia blushed a little embarrassedly at this.

"Hah! ~ This kid earned it. ”

Hearing this, Robin whistled triumphantly. After all, he didn't want his subordinates to be completely suppressed by the newcomers, so getting such a competition result was also an opportunity for them as a logistics fleet to show their true strength to the captured regular army.

"By the way, there are results on the staff officer's side. Lieutenant Colonel Yalvis scored the highest and will be appointed Chief of Staff, while Lieutenant Barron finished sixth. ”

"Sixth?" Hearing that Lieutenant Barron, a layman, had actually won the sixth place, Robin couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

"Yes, this surprised even Lieutenant Colonel Jarvis. So after weighing it up, a captain staff officer with a fifth grade was eliminated and Lieutenant Barron was included in the five-man group of the staff. ”

Cecilia originally thought that Robin would be happy when she heard the news, but she didn't expect Robin's face to suddenly turn ugly.

"It's a break in the rules."

"Perhaps...... Perhaps Lieutenant Colonel Jarvis has his thoughts......" Cecilia said thoughtfully.

"Rules are rules, and no one can break them. Where is he? I'm going to see him. ”

"It should ...... Should still be in command. ”

"You go and rest first, I'll come when I go." As soon as Cecilia finished speaking, Robin strode away.

Now that the new General Staff has been established, the five core staff officers, including Lieutenant Barron, are in the process of establishing the future division of duties, while the three unsuccessful candidates will become adjutants to assist the staff.

"Lieutenant Colonel Yalvis, I want to talk to you alone." After breaking into the headquarters, Robin ignored everyone's surprised gaze and walked directly to Lieutenant Colonel Yalvis, who was talking.

"Can you wait for me a moment?" Lieutenant Colonel Yalvis put down the materials in his hand and replied lightly.

"Nope." Robin's answer was crisp and sharp, which made the staff officers around him involuntarily stand up and leave the headquarters.

“……”

Perhaps irritated by Robin's domineering, Lieutenant Colonel Yalvis got up with some displeasure and said, "Even if you have the supreme command of the fleet, you can't ignore the authority of the General Staff. ”

"But you've broken the rules, and I have to talk to you about it."

"You mean Lieutenant Barron?" Lieutenant Colonel Jarvis looked surprised.

"Yes, I know you were trying to ease their emotions to promote Lieutenant Barron. But in my opinion, a good staff officer will never make such a mistake, after all, in the future, your tactical decisions will determine the life and death of everyone in the fleet, and only the best people deserve to sit here. ”

"I think you misunderstood, I didn't break the rules, and I didn't make such a decision because I considered the emotions of those fleet officers and soldiers."

"Huh?" Robin was surprised by Lieutenant Colonel Yalves' answer, and hesitated, "That's why ......"

"He didn't systematically study any staff courses, but just taught himself some basic courses. However, in this way, he is not much lower than Toby who was unsuccessful in terms of job evaluation. Lieutenant Colonel Yalves paused and said frankly, "I'm familiar with Toby, and although he has received formal staff courses, his talent has obviously been exhausted since his academy days. He was very careful, but he lacked creativity and indecision, so these shortcomings doomed him from being a good combat staff officer. Lieutenant Barron, on the other hand, is not young, but he is a buried talent. I think it was because of this period of experience that his dormant talent slowly woke up. Therefore, if he can systematically study the staff course in the future, I am sure that in the future, he will become an excellent staff officer. That's why I promoted him exceptionally, and of course, that little bit of influence you mentioned also added a little bit to his points. ”

"I see." Lieutenant Colonel Yalvis's explanation softened Robin's expression slightly: "It seems that I was overthinking. ”

"Actually, I was amazed by the true strength of your troops. Now it seems that it was not an accident that you were able to arrive here so magically. ”

Hearing Lieutenant Colonel Jarvis's compliment, Robin snorted coldly: "If that's not the case, do you really plan to replace us as the master here?" ”

As early as when he was in Bruno prison, Robin had actually established himself as Lieutenant Colonel Jarves' chief of staff. However, Lieutenant Colonel Jarvis's behavior of seizing power first after arriving still made him a little worried, so Robin also wanted to test Lieutenant Colonel Jarvis's true intentions.

"If your subordinates don't have enough talent, then ...... Between 60,000 and 2,000, I think I could easily make a choice. Lieutenant Colonel Yalves did not hide his true intentions and said truthfully.

"Sure enough, I knew you had bad intentions."

"But my worries are not unfounded, at least you have seen it yourself, and the emergence of factions among your subordinates does not bode well. In the future, this could even ruin us all. ”

“……”

Recalling the behavior of Taylor, the captain of the TA-179, Robin could only acquiesce to Lieutenant Commander Yárvis's accusation, and said with a wry smile: "So you are going to completely kill this sprout before I come back?" That's what happened before? ”

"Yes, that's what I planned. Cleaning up the vices of the Federation and reorganizing the army is a top priority. Speaking of this, Lieutenant Commander Yalvis suddenly looked at Robin with appreciation: "But your decision has made it all go more smoothly and has sent the fleet through the most dangerous period of reorganization. I read that right, you have the gift of being a leader. ”

"Your compliments scare me." Robin pursed his lips disdainfully and said bluntly, "What other plans do you have?" I hope you can make it clear to me the next time you have any plans, I am not one who will ignore the overall situation because of shortcomings, so I must be the first to know what plans your staff has. ”

"Of course, you are the general, and the staff will be directly responsible to the general."

"General?" Hearing this illustrious title, Robin's mouth opened wide in surprise.

"Of course, according to our plan. We will rescue all 60,000 prisoners of war from Bruno's prison, and with the strength of the republic's army, the supreme commander of a detachment of more than 60,000 men should be the rank of brigadier general. So from now on, I will constantly adjust the ranks according to the size of the fleet, and you, Captain Robin, you will soon be hung up with the rank of brigadier general. ”

"This ......" Holding back the excitement in his heart, Robin opened his mouth and asked: "Isn't it too child's fun for me to skip the school level and directly crown the title of general." ”

"As it stands, there are thirty-six people with the rank of colonel. Do you think it's appropriate for you, as the Supreme Commander, to salute your subordinates? Moreover, with the merits you have made, it is enough to promote you from a captain to brigadier general. Of course, as the chief of staff of the detachment, I will also be promoted to colonel by one rank. Lieutenant Colonel Jarvis opened the job list that had just been put together and explained to Robin in detail: "This form records the positions required by the detachment and the ranks that match them, and of course, the ranks have been largely lowered by one level in consideration of the room for future promotion. After all the personnel are inaugurated, their military ranks will be uniformly changed. ”

"This is really a big promotion...... "Robin sighed to himself as he went through the form, as he went through the form.

"In fact, compared to military ranks, what we lack most at the moment is personnel files. For an army, it is quite dangerous not to have a detailed personnel file as well as a record of duties. But now we can't get in touch with the central computer, so we have to fill in the missing parts ourselves. ”

"What are you going to do?"

"In the next period of time, I will conduct a file survey of the whole army, and through his own oral statement, combined with the evaluation of his colleagues, I will make the most basic personal files. Toby will be in charge of the job, and he should be up to the task. In addition, personnel files, as well as various classified drawings and meeting minutes, will also be kept confidential, and everyone will be given access to them according to their position and rank, except for you, as the Supreme Commander. ”

Robin nodded after hearing this: "I have no problem with this. ”

"Also, I'm going to have Lieutenant Commander Razer captain of that U-2 landing ship. As for Captain Cecilia, I admit that she is very talented, but for now, she is not fully adapted to being the captain of a battleship. ”

Seeing Robin nodding in agreement, Lieutenant Colonel Yalvis smiled and said, "I'll introduce Lieutenant Colonel Lei Zhe to you later." ”
